Ukraine is luring Crimeans to the presidential elections in Kherson
In Ukraine, they are planning to open polling stations for Crimeans on the eve of the upcoming presidential elections in Ukraine in 2019. Their peculiarity will be that it will be possible to vote not only on election day itself, but within a month or two before that.
The so-called "representative of the Ukrainian president in Crimea," Boris Babin, stated this in an interview with LigaBusinessInform, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
He predicts that tens of thousands of Crimeans will want to elect the Ukrainian president.
“We want to offer Crimeans a mechanism for participating in elections. To do this, it is necessary to change the election legislation so that Crimeans can vote at certain polling stations for a certain period before the elections. Under special monitoring - let there be 20 representatives of international organizations so that there is no falsification there. There are statistics: hundreds of thousands of people cross the demarcation line every month. These are administrative services, humanitarian needs, family ties, education, medicine - whatever. If people know that polling stations have been determined within a month or two, and there will be quite a lot of them, they will come and vote. We will not have five people and not a thousand. Of course, we cannot have two million, but it will be more than tens of thousands of faces, believe me,” Babin said.
